The Grammys have long been held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but this year organizers are giving the East Coast a piece of the action by hosting a four day Grammy festival in Brooklyn — and no, it's not at the Barclay's Center. It's at Prospect Park.

Over 30 artists are slated to perform, including Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke, Aloe Blacc, Jazmine Sullivan and Toni Braxton. The bulk of the performances will be held at the Prospect Park Brandshell and Kings Theatre, although some of the concerts will take place at the LeFrak Center.

Prices are $35, and up to $175 for VIP packages, on sale now at GRAMMYPark.com.
